Having an effective Prayer life has a lot to do with focus, SPIRITUAL FOCUS…

2 Corinthians 4:18 “So we fix our eyes NOT on what is SEEN, but what is UNSEEN, since what is SEEN is TEMPORARY, but what is UNSEEN is ETERNAL…”

The SEEN in our lives can distract our SPIRITUAL FOCUS…

Seen (our circumstances, what we see happening around us or to us)

Unseen (God, His presence, His power, His steadfast love)

2 Corinthians 5:7 “We walk by faith and not by SIGHT”

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you, He will never leave you nor forsake you..”

Train yourself not to recognize the outward circumstance only… Do not dwell on it, do not allow it to take over your thoughts and create fear, worry and anxiety. Recognize the situation and then let faith take over. Re-focus on what the Word of God says. Re-focus by SPEAKING WITH YOUR MOUTH what God’s Word says about the situation.

Revelation 12:11 says that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY!!!

If we’re not careful we can allow the enemy to flood our thoughts with everything that is or could be going wrong in our lives and it will take over our prayer time and keep us in-effective. To stay effective in prayer we must maintain the right Focus. That focus has to be on the Work that Jesus did on through his death burial and resurrection, when He defeated Satan and took the Keys to death, Hell and the Grave!

Through Salvation that Victory has been transferred to you! You are just as victorious as Jesus. If you’ll keep your focus on what Jesus has already done instead of being distracted by the things going on around you, you can live in a place of Spiritual Focus and see things for what they really are.

Recognize in every situation that YOU ARE VICTORIOUS IN CHRIST!

SPEAK to the circumstances in your life, don’t bow down to them!
